The farmer must endeavor to securean equal footing in the competitionfor a lower cost of production. In"Western Canada the farmer has comethrough the dark era with that fortitude and determination so peculiar ta new country, and is meeting tiechanged situation witn energy and aMnile. In Western Canada the farmer jIs not hamiered by an annual over- ;head expense of heavy interest on jhigh-priced land. lie is able to pro- jdure at n minimum, because hi.C landvalue seldom exceeds $.V) an acre.Owing to the fact that he Is farmingland the price of which is from $-."to $r0 an acre, producing crop! ofwheat running from 20 to AO bushelsper acre, and other grains in proportion, lie is able to produce at a lowcost. In addition to this, a fact whichshould not be lost sight of. is the largearea that he can farm at low cost, giving him an added advantage in reducing the cost of production.The corn that the fairmer fully expected to hring him over a dollar abushel, he saw carried away to themarket, and bring hack a "0 or 40 centcheck. Wheat for the whole of Canada averaged Mi cents a bushel in 11 1as compared with Sl.lVJ in P.VJ0; oats:i7 cents as against Ö" cents; barley-17 cents as against SC cents. Othergrain prices similarly fell. Whileother parts of the continent, wheregrain-growing is carried on. have suffered in like maimer hy deflation inprices, they have had to face a much !higher cost in production, such as high jrents, hlgh-prhvd farms, and high !taxes. Farmers had calculated on receiving war or nearly war tigures fortheir grain and therefore were amply jJustified in submitting to the tax that ,soaring land prices set upon them. 'Western Canada fortunately did notsuffer from inflated land prices. Therefore, when grain prices fell, the lossessustained were not so great ; they didnot cut out the margin of profit, excepting in some cases where some climatic conditions caused it.Why not take advantage of theIlomeseekors rate to any point InWestern Canada, of return rate singlefare plus $2.00. and get informationfrom the nearest Canadian Covern- !ment agent?
